West Ham will finish in the top six if they complete the signing of Kalvin Phillips, according to Darren Bent.
Manchester City and West Ham have agreed a deal for Phillips to join the Hammers on a loan deal until the end of the season.
Phillips, who has only played 89 minutes so far this season, will undergo a medical with David Moyes’ side on Thursday.
Darren Bent believes top 6 is the minimum for West Ham if they sign Emile Smith Rowe and Kalvin Philips
And Bent believes West Ham can set their sites on a European finish if the Phillips deal gets completed.
Speaking on talkSPORT Drive, he said: “Kalvin Phillips and Emile Smith Rowe, they would be two unbelievable signings for West Ham.
“All of a sudden, if you’re a West Ham fan, you’re excited now because of the players you have, then you bring in them two as well, you’re almost like: ‘Oh my goodness, what can we do with this squad?'”
